Don't Count the Dodgers Out!  Flashback to 1977 Playoffs

10/17/2013

PictureCollage of Los Angeles Dodgers who starred In the 1977 National League Championship Series





October 1977:

The Los Angeles Dodgers were down to their last out

On the road

In Philadelphia

The best of five series was tied one game each
 
The Phillies led 5-3

Relief ace Gene Garber was pitching

The Dodgers sent Vic Davalillo to pinch hit

As Garber threw the ball, Davalillo prepared to catch it with his bat

The ball bounced between first and second base

By the time a surprised Ted Sizemore got to it, Davalillo was already at first
 
Manny Mota went to bat as a pinch hitter

Garber had two strikes on him

Then Mota golfed a low pitch deep to left

Greg Luzinski went back and got a glove on the ball

But could not catch it

Then his throw to Sizemore went astray

By the time the play ended, Davalillo had scored and Mota was on third
 
Davey Lopes slammed a chopper to third base

The ball bounced off Schmidt’s glove to shortstop Larry Bowa

Who in one motion caught the ball and whirled it to first

The umpire called Lopes safe

Tie game!
 
Some Phillies fans are still upset about this call and call this game “Black Friday”

But after watching the game on DVD, I am not convinced it was a bad call.

Earlier in the game there were worse calls than this one against both teams.

Anyway, the game went on.

Garber tried to pick Lopes off, but he threw it away and Lopes got to second.

Bill Russell then lined a single up the middle to bring home Lopes.
 
The Dodgers got the Phillies out without any runs in the bottom of the ninth.

Final score: Dodgers 6, Phillies 5.

The Dodgers beat the Phillies again the next day and went on to the World Series.

We Have Lost the Battle for 9/11 Truth But We Will Win the War

1/3/2013

We may not win the battle of identifying all of the criminals of 9/11 but that should not surprise us.
What I have said about the events of 9/11 is not a secret.  Those with open minds and a desire to discern facts discover the truth of what I and many others say on a daily basis.

The criminals of 9/11, the Kennedy brother murders and other events are merely a faction that uses the power of the government without authority.  And they use that power to stay outside of anyone's reach.

Official theories have been given to us by the faction, their enablers in politics and the media.  Most of the public readily accept them because the same people who propose the official theory have control over opposition to it.

These theories never go before a court of law and become subject to cross-examination.  The chosen forum for the theories, the mainstream media of television, radio, etc. simply deliver the news given (i.e. what is official) and not critique of this news.

As a result, the burden of proof to the average member of the public runs low, to the point of plausibility.  Those of us who demand a higher burden of proof will keep banging our heads against this wall as long as the official theories reach us in the manner they do.

We may not win the battle of identifying all of the criminals of 9/11 but that should not surprise us.  We have engaged in a game without rules, teams or a finish line.

All is not lost.  Thanks to those who have raised and even answered questions about controversial events have inspired awareness that the public does not always receive the truth.  We are now more than ever likely to seek information about a wide range of topics, such as medicine, food, and history.

We should all continue to seek the information we need to help ourselves and to help the society in which we live.  The real game of creating a society that outs the criminal faction will be won by those who take the time to educate themselves about anything they think matters.

Would You Rather Be Jefferson Davis or Benedict Arnold?

6/2/2010

Does anyone really change their mind?

An experience I had at work may have provided me with an answer.  I work for a city as a public employee and served as an alternate representative for the existing union. A faction of the union wanted to bring in an outside union to replace the existing one and made motions at an official meeting to that effect.

Displeased with the manner in which the existing union management attempted to stop the motions by declaring them illegal, I voted with the faction (and on behalf of my regular representative, who bolted from the meeting with several others to try to stop the quorum).

Early on, I felt as though the battle lines were clearly drawn. Even though I contended from the beginning that I simply wanted a vote to be held among all employees in my class to allow choice between the two unions, I was “typecast” by those siding with the existing union as one of “those people.”


I wrote out and sent messages to all voting members of the union explaining my point of view, discussing ways the two sides could compromise and responding to various bits of what I believed to be misinformation by the other side. (Neither side behaved especially professionally in this mess).

What did the other side typically say? They would correct me and insult me if I so much as forgot to identify myself as an alternate. Neither side trusted one another and no one gave an inch.

Throughout this time, each side sent assertions of fact back and forth on the emails and also posted messages on bulletin boards in break rooms. But no member of either side publicly announced that they were convinced of the correctness of the other side's point of view.
Why was that?

Because once the lines are drawn and “shots” are fired, people tend to “duck for cover” and line up with their allies. Does anyone really change sides? All we need do to answer that question is to answer this one: Who is the greater villain in United States history – Jefferson Davis or Benedict Arnold?

I could have pounded away at those who opposed a vote with sound arguments on many grounds. In fact, I did. I sent messages of my arguments to the union president, vice president and counsel. In the end, the union management got its way, I left the union and I hear things are back to normal.
